Candidate bio and home page
Your story, your photo, and your top 3 issues on a home page that works well on a phone.
The Problem
Voters, Donors, and Reporters Find Your Name Before Your Site
It shows up the week you announce. Every mailer, post, and news story sends people to search your name, and the site they find decides whether they give, help, or move on.
01 · Placeholder page
Searchers find a photo and a payment link.
A launch site with your bio, issues, and asks goes live in weeks.
02 · No disclaimer
The footer has no paid-for-by line.
Every page footer carries the disclaimer your treasurer approves.
03 · Lost volunteers
Volunteer sign-ups land in an inbox nobody checks.
Sign-ups route to your volunteer lead and your email tool.
04 · Thin issues
Voters can't find where you stand.
Plain-language issue pages explain your plan in a few short paragraphs.
You announce on Monday. By Tuesday a local reporter, three neighbors, and a likely donor have searched your name. They find a placeholder page with a photo and a payment link. There are no issue pages, no events, and no way to volunteer. The footer has no paid-for-by line, and your treasurer is asking about it. The few volunteers who signed up landed in a personal inbox nobody checks. Every day the site isn't ready, early supporters drift to other causes.
We start with your race: the office, the dates that matter, and the one thing you need most from visitors this month. Then we build a launch site in about 3 weeks. It carries your bio, top issues, contribute and volunteer asks on every page, and the disclaimer your treasurer approves. Sign-ups route to the right person. More pages follow as the race heats up, so you're live before the deadline, not after the primary.
An ask on every page
Contribute, volunteer, and email sign-up buttons on every page, linked to the tools you already use.
Treasurer-ready contribution forms
Contribution forms collect the donor details your treasurer reports, and every footer carries your disclaimer.
Live before the deadline
A launch site in about 3 weeks, with issue and event pages added as the race grows.
Our Political Campaign Website Design Process
From Race Review to Launch in Five Clear Steps
You approve the message and the disclaimer wording, see the home page before anything else, and test every form before the site goes live.
We look at your race, your key dates, your current site or social profiles, and the tools your campaign already uses. You get a page list and a fixed quote. If a volunteer-built template can carry your race for now, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With Our Campaign Website Design
Our website design for political campaigns covers your bio, issues, contribute and volunteer asks, sign-up forms, and disclaimers. Larger plans add endorsements, events, district pages, and second-language pages.

DeveloperLook vs Campaign Template vs Volunteer Build
A campaign template or a volunteer build suits some races, especially small local ones. Here's how each handles political website design, from the contribute flow to who owns the site.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Campaign template | Volunteer build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch speed | About 3 weeks | Same week, if copy is ready | Depends on their evenings |
| Contribute flow | Linked on every page, tested | Usually one donate button | Varies by volunteer |
| Disclaimer | In every footer, as approved | You add it yourself | Easy to forget |
| Sign-up routing | To your team and email tool | The template's inbox | A personal inbox |
| Issue pages | Written for voters with you | Blank sections to fill | Depends on their time |
| Upfront cost | From $1,050, fixed scope | Low monthly fee | Free |
| Traffic spikes | Cloudflare and caching set up | Handled by the platform | Often untested |
| Ownership | Committee's own accounts | Tied to the template platform | Often a personal login |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built fast-moving websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Campaign Teams Hand Us Their Launch
Political campaign web design runs on deadlines, news cycles, and small teams. These habits keep your site current from announcement day to election night.
Deadlines set the plan
We plan backward from your filing date, first report, or debate, and launch the core pages first. A finished site after the primary helps nobody.
Your words, not ours
We write and edit in your voice and keep our own views out of the copy. Your manager approves every page before it goes live.
Ready for traffic spikes
Debates, endorsements, and news stories send sudden traffic. We set up caching and Cloudflare so the site stays up when attention arrives.
Built for phones first
Visitors reach you from texts, posts, and QR codes on mailers, so we design and test every page on a phone before a laptop.
Honest about templates
If a template and a volunteer can carry your race for now, we'll tell you before we quote. Campaign money should go where it moves votes.
The committee owns it
Domain, hosting, CMS, and analytics sit in your committee's accounts, not a staffer's personal login. When the race ends, you decide what happens to the site.

Good fit
First-time candidates for local office
You just filed for city council or school board, and voters who look you up find an old social profile instead of your plan.
State legislative campaigns
Your state house race needs issue pages, endorsements, and an events calendar, and the volunteer form from the primary still emails a personal inbox.
Ballot measure committees
You're running a yes-or-no campaign on a local measure, and voters need the question in plain words, the facts, and a way to help.
Campaign managers facing a deadline
Your filing deadline or first fundraising report is close, and you need a working site live in weeks, not after the primary.
Political consultants and agencies
Your consulting firm runs several races at once and needs local political campaign websites built under your brand while you handle strategy.
Not a fit
You run a nonprofit, not a race
You're a nonprofit or advocacy group, not a candidate or measure campaign. Our Nonprofit Website Design page fits that work and its donor needs better.
Only need one landing page
You only need one page for a single ad or mailer push. Our Landing Page Design service builds that faster and for less.
Budget under $1,050
Your budget is under $1,050. A campaign template on a builder, set up by a capable volunteer, can carry a small race until fundraising picks up.
You need legal advice
You need someone to decide what your disclaimers and contribution forms must legally say. Your treasurer or election lawyer decides that; we build what they approve.

A DeveloperLook campaign site starts at $1,050 for a 6-page launch site with contribute, volunteer, and email sign-up forms. A full campaign site with issue pages, endorsements, and events starts at $2,700. Statewide builds with district pages and second-language pages start at $5,400. Your contribution platform's processing fees are separate and paid to them.
A launch site goes live in 2 to 3 weeks, and full builds finish in 4 to 6 weeks. Every plan puts the core pages live first: home, bio, issues, contribute, and volunteer. The rest follows while you campaign, so a filing date or first fundraising report doesn't wait on the full build.
Yes, if you're asking people for votes, money, or time, because they'll look you up before they decide. Social platforms change their rules and reach, but your site is the one place you control: your bio, your positions, and your contribute and volunteer links. Even a small local race can run on a 6-page launch site.
For a federal campaign, the website is a committee disbursement, reported with a specific purpose such as Website Services or Web Hosting. The FEC lists both as adequate purpose descriptions. State and local races follow their state's campaign finance rules, so confirm how to report it with your treasurer. Ask for invoices addressed to the committee, not the candidate, so records stay clean.
We build it on WordPress or Webflow in 3 layers: pages voters read, forms for contributions and sign-ups, and the tools behind them. Contribute buttons open your contribution platform's form, sign-ups flow to your email tool, and GA4 tags show which mailer or ad sent each visitor. Every form is tested on a phone before launch.
You create one by gathering 5 things before any design starts. You need a short bio, a good photo, your top 3 issues in plain words, your committee's legal name for the disclaimer, and your contribution link. With those in hand, a launch site takes weeks, not months, and endorsements and events follow once you're live.
Start small and launch early: a 6-page site with your story, your reasons for running, and clear contribute and volunteer buttons. First-time candidates earn trust with specifics, so name the local problems you'd work on instead of broad slogans. Set every account up in the committee's name from day one, so nothing is tied to a personal email.
Set it up in your committee's name: domain, hosting, analytics, and email tool, with logins your manager and treasurer can reach. Add the paid-for-by disclaimer to the footer, since FEC rules require disclaimers on political committee websites (state races follow state rules). Link a contribution form that collects the donor details your treasurer reports, and send sign-ups to an email tool such as Mailchimp or HubSpot.
A great campaign site gives each page one action and puts a clear face on the race. Lead with a strong candidate photo, a short headline about why you're running, and a contribute button that's easy to find. The best political campaign websites keep issue pages short, readable on a phone, and usable with a screen reader.
Your committee does. The domain, hosting, CMS, and analytics sit in the committee's accounts, and every login is handed over at launch. After the vote you can archive the site, keep it for a future race, or take it down, and your treasurer confirms how any wind-down costs are paid. Support lasts 30 to 90 days depending on your plan.
